As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for
an important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those
unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city
these days.
Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying every
worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched
by this person's condition.
Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as
if the sight would somehow contaminate them.
Recalling some long ago priest who made an admonition to
'care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked,'
I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this
unfortunate person.
Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty.
A small voice inside my head called out, 'Reach out, reach
out!'

So I did..........
I Won't be at Mass this week!
